The preorder of 5,000,000 nature-based removal credits from Catona's carbon portfolio will enable ENGIE to flexibly source removals from multiple high-impact projects with locked-in pricing through 2039.
LOS ANGELES, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global leader in the net zero energy transition, ENGIE, has pre-ordered 5 million tonnes of nature-based carbon removals issuing 2030-2039 from climate finance company, Catona.
